USAID Zambia Fodder Plot
To help families develop resilience to erratic rainfall patterns and other economic stresses, Venture37 implemented the USAID Zambia Fodder Plot (ZFP) project, which developed, tested and documented best practices in sustainable fodder production and storage, while ensuring optimal nutrition for herds. The project published and disseminated a manual to stakeholders and coached 50 trainers-of-trainers to pass on these techniques to others in the region. ZFP provided technical expertise in fodder management to 830 agro-pastoralist families and members of their households. ZFP also linked farmers to markets, including fodder seed farms, to help sustain cost-savings and profits. More than 30,000 people benefited from this project.
